Jamaican just pulled up at the 4 x 400 metre

They're not really our competition in the 4x400. Bahamas will give us trouble.

It's strange though, shouldn't THIS be called artistic gymnastics?

It's all about artistry really.

Comparing USA men and women in the Olympics. http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/34293/your-thursday-olympic-viewing-guide-2

Men's Volleyball: U.S. starts 4-0, loses two straight including a choke job to Italy in the QFs. No medal.

Women's Volleyball: U.S. undefeated and currently in the semifinals.

Men's Water Polo: U.S. starts 3-0, loses three straight including their worst match of all to Croatia in the QFs. No medal.

Women's Water Polo: U.S. undefeated and will play Spain in the gold-medal match.

Men's Gymnastics: Choke job in the team finals, backdoor bronze in the all-around.

Women's Gymnastics: Gold in the team finals, Gabby Douglas gold in the all-around.

Men's Beach Volleyball: Both U.S. teams won their group, and both fell in the early elimination rounds with nervy performances.

Women's Beach Volleyball: Both U.S. teams raced undefeated to the finals, ensuring gold and silver for America.

Men's Soccer: Failed to qualify for the Olympics after conceding an extra-time goal to El Salvador.

Women's Soccer: Undefeated, will play in the gold-medal match against Japan.

Men's Track and Field: Nine total medals, one gold

Women's Track and Field: 11 total medals, four gold

And this doesn't take into account boxing, where the men went medalless and we have one woman fighting for the gold today, or judo, where the women had 2 medals to the men's zero. It's possible by the end of the games that the women will have twice the amount of medals as the men.
